THE LAST OF THE BUFFALoEs.
An Indian Rumor OF a Large Herd in
an Out. Of the-Way Place In Mexico.

an Out. Of the. Way Place In Mexico.
lei Paso (Tex.) letter.
was told when l came here two months
ago that II wanted to find out what was
trustworthy concerning the determination
Of the buffalo Capt. Jack Bridges was the
man to see. AS Bridges was then hunting
in the Seralers mountains In Mexico, took
the cars to Gallego, where, through the
courtesy of r. L. Comfort, superintendent
Of the Mexican Central Railroad Company,
l was provided with an inoffensive bronco
to ride over to Bridges's camp, some
thirty-eight miles.
Capt. Jack, who for years past has been
one Of the most distinguished and fearless
hunters in the west, was the first man to
make contract to provide large number
of buffalo hides. The idea suggested itself
TO pelt-dealing firm in Leavenworth, Kan.,
who sent for Bridges, telling him to procure
1900 hides at once, as they wish to try them
in the English market. Bridges signed the
contract, and, hiring lot of "sklnners,"
began his destructive warfare against the
bison. In five weeks and four days he
killed witlfhis own hand !, ,143 buffaloes, and
the hides of these animals constituted the
first shipment Of buffalo robes to Europe.
While the contract was very lucrative,
owing to the great abundance Of the ami
mails, the slaughter disgusted Bridges, who
was natural-born sportsman, 80 much
that he refused to be Instrumental In the
future In any wholesale destruction ofgood
meat. He says that he has only been
sorry but once for what he did, aud that
about 5000 head, but only when meat was
required by the different expeditions for
which he was guide. Having shot buffalo
from British Columbia to Texas, and hay
ing lived for the last thirty-five years on
the great game ranges OF the west, he Is
well qualified to speak authoritatlvely on
the subject.
GAS far as l know" said Bridges, when
talking on the subject, "and | try to keep
myself posted, there are not over 600 buffa-
loes left In the United States. There are
about 200 in the Yellowstone Park, and
these will be the sole survivors in year or
two. In the panhandle Of Texas there are
about 100. These do not include those on
the ranch Of Charley Goodnight, who has o
lot OF them emi-domesticated. Good
nights ranch is near Vernon, In Armstrong
county. There are about 1l0in Kansas and
the Indian territory, five or six In Colorado.
others are In little herd In an out-of-th
way place which do not wish made public" !"
"Thls, then, sums up the buifaloes left ?"
"Yes, though there may be seen a strag-
Cling pair or two. In southern Texas. l am
told that two old bulls were seen south of
San Antonio the other day, and that they
were followed up and one killed. But /

Apache and the other time by Wacoe In

Money to indemnify Chinese Subjects.
One of the questions considered at the
Cabinet meeting yesterday was in regard to
the money appropriated at the last session
of Congress to indemnity Chinese subjects
for losses sustained during the riots at
Rock Springs, Wyo., In September, 1885.
The act provides that the money shall be
paid to the Chinese government, by which
II is to be distributed. 1t is probable that
the money will be turned over to the
Chinese minister as the legal representative

A MARKET OF spECIALrIEs.
Activity is Developed oniy in Few
Stocks.

New York, Mar. 22.-The transactions
at the stock exchange to day, like those OF
every day for the past two weeks, were, as
far as the usually active list is concerned,
utterly devoid of feature. Some few OF the
specalties, however, showed considerable
life and material advances were recorded.
There was no outside news which could be
said to have any effect upon values, and
there was scarcity even of rumors during
the day. The demand for exchange to pay
for stocks sold In this market induced an
advance Of per cent, and while money was
easy the price at one time was bid up to 8
per cent, It's only effect being, however, to
restrict trading.
The opening was dull, tame, aud unin-
teresting, and withal rather heavy, q ma
ing's final figures. Further small declines
were made in the early trading, but the
market soon rallied, and from that time
out, although transactions were very light,
the market continued firm. There was a
spurt Of activity just after noon, but the
bidding OF money again restricted trading,
and the close was dull but firm, generally at
small fractions above the opening prices.
Money on call has been easy, ranging from
4 to g, last loan at 5, and closing at 4.
Sterling exchange is quiet and firm.
Actual business at 4SJi to 4s4I for 60.
day bills and 1860 to 4S7 for demand.
